It is a good time to get in Ten-weeks 

 Stock, the market for which is likoly 

 to be very good indeed. Candytuft put 

 in now will be ready tor Memorial 

 Day. Calendulas have increased in 

 popularity in the past few years so 

 that they are now a staple product in 

 some markets. The spring crop should 

 bi> started now by sowing the seeds in 

 rows 24 inches apart. The seedlings 

 must be thinned out until they stand 

 10 inches apart in the rows. There Is 

 even time to sow sweet peas of the 

 Spencer varieties. All of these an- 

 nuals will thrive in a temperature 

 which runs about 50 degrees at night. 



If you found the cherries profitable 

 plants this season you should start 

 now preparing for next year's stock. 

 You can root them readily in a 

 moderately warm propagating bed, 

 afterwards potting them up in three- 

 inch or smaller jxjts. A night tempera- 

 ture of 50 to 5.5 degrees will keep them 

 growing well, but they must have a 

 good light house and be syringed fre- 

 quently. 



The morning hours are always the 

 best for making cuttings and this is 

 particularly true as applied to carna- 

 tions. Do the work of trimming them 

 up in a cool place, first having dipped 

 them in cool water. Get them into 

 the propagating benches as soon as 

 possible and spray them every bright 

 morning so that the foliage will be 

 moist during daylight hours, but make 

 a point of having the leaves dry when 

 night comes on. While they need 

 much shade at the beginning they 

 should gradually be accustomed to the 

 sunlight so that they will enjoy full 

 sun by the time they are potted up. 

 Properly treated there will be hut little 

 wilting after potting. 



Make it a point to pot up just as 

 soon as the cuttings are ready, and 

 use new. fresh soil that has been care- 

 fully screened. If the soil is reason- 

 ably moist and potting is firmly done, 

 the cuttings will take hold quickly, 

 especially if a little shade is given for 

 a few days before exposing them to 

 the full sunlight.
